Abstract: Each instance environment of a plurality of computing instance environments is associated with its corresponding set of users belonging to one or more user groups, its corresponding processes, and its corresponding data access privileges. For at least one of the computing instance environments, database tables accessible by the corresponding computing instance environment are analyzed to determine whether each of the database tables includes data belonging to one or more sensitive data categories. Based at least in part on a result of the analysis determining whether each of the database tables includes data belonging to the one or more sensitive data categories, a data risk metric is determined for the corresponding computing instance environment.

Abstract: A computing platform may receive, from a plurality of IoT information sources, historical information associated with a user. The computing platform may generate, based on the historical information, a user specific policy, defining information distribution rules for the user. The computing platform may receive, from an information collection system, a request for information. The computing platform may identify whether or not the request for information requests personal information of the user. Based on identifying that the request for information requests the personal information of the user, the computing platform may identify whether or not the requested personal information violates the user specific policy. Based on identifying that the requested personal information does not violate the user specific policy, the computing platform may obscure the requested personal information, and send, to the information collection system, the obscured personal information.

Abstract: A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be diverted into the modular infrastructure prior to draining into the primary infrastructure. Once diverted, the precedent use water is received at a reservoir system where it is treated for a subsequent use. Treatment may include filtration and/or chemical treatment, and may be based upon sensor feedback from the reservoir system. Once treated, the water is ready for subsequent use and may flow from the reservoir system, via the modular infrastructure, to a subsequent point of use, such as a toilet.
